    Dish Net Just Installed

    Did you get Dish or Directv? You keep saying Dish and D. But D is for Directv.

    Better late...But PQ is back with a WOW!

    I noticed it too. I wonder if they went back to the old encoders? Because I saw the old mosquito noise back on Equator again just like we used to have. But every other channel looked great.

    V00M's fate

    The continual promises to customers that were never fulfilled. And not having the option to self install.

    So how close was the dvr to debuting?

    Personally I don't think the DVR ever existed. Voom had been promising them and other things for so long and not delivering. I think they were blowing smoke in a effort to keep subcribers and to gain new ones. It was things like this that led to their demise.

    Just got a call from Voom in which I was told Voom won't end at the end of the month.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but I received a phone call from a woman claiming to be Charlene at Voom. She told me Voom is shutting down this month and that I needed to be looking for service elsewhere. I'm just passing along the info that I was given.

    What's up with the DVI again?

    I am seeing the same thing here. I'm using DVI with a JVC 48" TV. It wasn't like this last night. I sure hope this isn't another so called "Good thing" that's supposed to come from the new encoders. I hate to be so negative but right now with the bad PQ I am on the fence. If things don't improve...

    Installs Inc. is a joke!

    I have been quietly reading the forum and all the help you give. Although I have never needed your help let me say that you are truely an asset to this forum as well as to Voom. You go above and beyond the call of duty and to that you should be commended. Thank you. Bob

    why I cancelled VaVaVoom

    Do you know if an access card is needed to watch OTA only? No one seems to be able to answer this question for me in other forums.

    HD PQ: Voom VS. D*

    I'm not sure what's going on with your OTA, but the Voom PQ has been poor for the last month or so. Voom went to new encoders that were supposed to improve things but so far all it's done is to cause a degredation in PQ both Sd and HD. I walked into my local Fry's store the other night and they...

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    That is a perfect analogy of the PQ. I sure hope it goes back to what it was , but sadly I don't think it will.

    What will you do if VOOM goes under?

    I will sell my HDTV and buy a 32" TV. Then I'll hook my D equipment back up and forget about HDTV until it grows up. This way I can stop tweaking everything on my end in the hopes HD will look good again. And I can stay out of the forums and actually watch TV again. Anyone want to buy my TV? <g>

    Talk I had with a csr

    I don't want any new channels until Voom fixes the PQ. The only thing that adding new channels will do right now is degrade the PQ further. I want the old PQ back that we used to have. If it means dumping the new encoders because they don't work right, or because Voom can't figure out how to...

    *** Stop Adding Channels until the PQ is Restored!!! ***

    AMEN!! I too am sick and tired of the poor PQ on Voom. And I fear that all of this is falling on deaf ears. Voom is very quickly becoming another mediocre provider like D and E. Voom I want quality not quantity! The great PQ that we used to have and recently lost with the new encoders and added...

    I think Voom is in a great position to grow fast

    And when Voom gets their new encoders working properly and goes to MPEG-4 you'll be even more blown away by Voom. Right now the PQ is a lot worse than what it used to be. I'm holding out hope that it will once again improve. When I first got Voom back in March 2004 I was blown away by the great...

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    Yes. Late last night it did look a little better. Still shots look good. But any type of motion at all and the problem crops up. Equator HD was a joke last night.

    Anyone Notice IMPROVED Picture Quality Today?

    Sorry. I don't think it's any better. And right now on Equator at 6:25pm central, the mosquito noise is worse than it was yesterday. Discovery HD also has poor PQ watching Sunrise Earth.

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    I think most of my frustration with Voom and the poor PQ is a lack of communication from them. If Voom would come out and tell us something then yes I could live with poor PQ for a while longer. I have seen what great HD is and I know Voom is capable of airing it. But to just say "We're working...

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    This is exactly how I feel about it too. I can not watch Voom with the PQ the way it is now. So I too am starting to say "so what" if Voom shuts down. I wish they would go back to the old encoders and dump the new channels until they have the proper bandwidth.

    New channels look bad!

    Ok but how much time do they need? It's now been 3 weeks and the PQ still sucks. If the new encoders can't be tweaked properly, then get rid of them. I'd like to see Voom go back to the old encoders and give us the great PQ that we used to have and are actually paying good money for. What they...

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    Come on Voom! This so called tweaking is going on 3 weeks now. If you can't get it right, go back to the old encoders until you can get the new ones fixed. Or at least until you can hire someone that knows what they're doing. I tried to watch the penguin show on Equator last night and gave up...

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    And the Skeeter noise was back in full glory on Equator and Discovery HD last night. I tried to watch Smart Travels and gave up. Looked horrible.

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    I agree! This "tweaking" has been going on for 2 weeks now. PQ is still bad. It's getting old. And now I've got problems with my STB with the guide and channels not in sync. If this continues much longer I think we should be asking Voom for pro rated bills.

    I Thought $1 Install was Extended?

    I thought I had read here that the $1 install was extended until April 1? I called Voom to get a second box added. I was told by the CSR that it would cost me $199 for install and my $79.90 monthly fee would jump to $89.90 plus I had to commit to a 6 month contract. And on top of that I would...

    Harmonic Encoder Improvements? (Feedback Need it)

    I agree with Sean. I know it'll take time to tweak the encoders. And I'm glad Voom is asking for our feedback. But if we are going to suffer PQ in the long run just to add channels, I don't want the new channels. I miss the old PQ.
